<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi List,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have recently started using ogr2ogr. It works fine, but I
have some confusion and hoping that anyone can shade the light.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>here r the steps I follow.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>first I use ogrInfo on ntf file,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>ogrInfo blah.ntf</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1: BL2000_LINK (Line String)<BR>2: BL2000_POLY (None)<BR>3:
BL2000_COLLECTIONS (None)<BR>4: FEATURE_CLASSES (None)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>ogr2ogr <directory name> blah.ntf BL2000_LINK
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>this generate .shp,.dbf,shx and .prj files in the
directory</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>now I use shp2pgsql to create dump file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>confusion comes when I run the ogr2ogr command against a layer
with no geo. type</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>it only creates a .dbf and .prj file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>how do I import these files in postgres? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I think these layers contain other features realted to
first geo. layer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Appreciate any input!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Regards</FONT></DIV>
